A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama on Tuesday ordered Jordan Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, to produce his international passport in court over a disputed $2.1 million land transaction.
Justice Sylvanus Oriji issued the order after counsel to the claimants, Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, applied for the travel document to be produced during proceedings.
The suit, marked CV/008/2026, followed allegations by the claimants that Jordan had agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 60 hectares of land in Abuja, comprising 30 hectares in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
According to their counsel, Hamza Dantani, the parties initially met in London before subsequently meeting in Abuja, where discussions on the proposed land deal allegedly took place.
The claimants alleged that Jordan demanded $2.1 million for the transaction, with $2 million allegedly intended for his father and $100,000 for himself.
They further alleged that the money was handed over on September 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was accompanied by Onor Sandy.
The claimants alleged that after collecting the money, Jordan failed to deliver the land or refund the funds and subsequently became unreachable.
Jordan has denied the allegations.
At the resumed hearing, he adopted his statement on oath and rejected the claims against him. He was represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ogwu Onoja.
During cross-examination, Dantani questioned Jordan about his movements and travel documents.
When asked where he was on September 26, 2026, Jordan told the court that he was outside Nigeria
Asked which passport he used to travel, he said he travelled with his American international passport, adding that he could produce it if required
Dantani subsequently applied for the passport to be produced before the court.
Justice Oriji granted the application and ordered Jordan to produce the document.
Earlier, the claimant’s counsel had also asked Jordan to write his full name and signature five times each on a plain sheet of paper. The application was granted without objection from the defense
The court adjourned the matter until Wednesday for continuation of proceedings.
